I am retired from the US Army after 24 years of service. I am happily married, and celebrated our 50 years of marriage on March 10th. My wife is very supportive of my craft addiction.My main addiction is card making. She is quite crafty herself and does crocheting,plastic canvas and kniting. Have one furbaby "Sandy" a five year old cat. She rules the house

Well, the weather is getting to hot to work out side, so it's time to stay in my craftroom. The temperatures have been in the high 90 degrees for the last couple of weeks. So, it's inside time for me.

The card that I have posted today is from "The Angel Company" called "Enjoy the Ride" TAC #RPH-2. It's from a series of stamps by the artist Phyllis Harris, who designs exclusively for "The Angel Company". There are five different set in the series.Here is the card;

"Enjoy the Ride"

I colored the image with Copic markers of course. Then I stamped and cut masks for the dog and the girl. Once I had the masks inplace, I cut some Post-It sheets to give me a cloud shape. With my airbrush I airbrushed in some clouds. Next was the grass in the middle ground, using the Post-It sheets again. the last application with the airbrush, was the path way. I left the Post-Its for the middle ground in place for this.

A Martha Stewart edge punch was used to make the white border at the bottom of the background mat.A little green Stickles was added, and walla the card was finished.

Hope you enjoy the card as much as I enjoyed making it. Your comments are always appreciated.
